3 Strong Stocks Poised to Break Resistance This Week
Stocks are opening the week with record highs in sight. And that makes finding breakout stocks to buy an easy feat. Today's gallery will feature three such candidates for your consideration.The S&P 500 ended Friday 1.3% from all-time highs. The Dow was 1.5% from record territory, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq was already basking in new highs. With the bullishness of the market backdrop, an increasingly high number of stocks are returning to last year's glory days.Traders are fond of the so-called "bullish breakout" pattern because it presents an attractive low-risk entry to climb aboard uptrending stocks. When resistance gives way, old bears run for cover and new bulls swarm. Together, this creates a demand surge that can result in substantial upside follow through.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * If You Can Tolerate Risk, Hexo Stock Is a Buy I've scanned the market and found a handful of breakout stocks to buy. Take a look. Click to Enlarge Source: ThinkorSwim American Express (AXP)The breakout setup in American Express (NYSE:AXP) is particularly potent due to last week's earnings release. The numbers were good, and buyers flocked, driving the credit card giant to the cusp of record highs. On the price trend front, bulls control all time frames. The 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages are all heading northbound.Thursday's volume surge adds legitimacy to the rally, showing institutions are lending their support to the breakout bid. Though equities are weak this morning, AXP stock's down-gap is being quickly bought up. Throw it all together, and I suspect a breach of the $114.50 resistance zone is only a matter of time.To capitalize, buy the June $115/$120 bull call spread for $1.32. The risk is limited to the original cost, and the reward is $3.68. Click to Enlarge Source: ThinkorSwim Alibaba Group (BABA)Chinese stocks are pulling the emerging markets space higher this year. And that has led to some lucrative bullish plays in a few of its more popular companies including Alibaba Group (NYSE:BABA). Unfortunately, overhead resistance has conspired to end the internet giant's recovery attempts, resulting in six weeks of churn. Multiple attempts to breach $190 have failed, but I think buyers still stand a chance.The bullish backdrop in stocks coupled with BABA stock's uptrend still being intact lead me to continue to root for buyers. Fortunately, there's no need to speculate. Instead, we can simply wait for confirmation that resistance has finally given way and then deploy bullish trades. * 3 Stocks on Shaky Ground If BABA stock trade above $190, then buy bull call spreads. The June $190/$200 should do the trick. Your risk will be limited to the trade cost. Click to Enlarge Source: ThinkorSwim Costco Wholesale (COST)Spurred by a rousing earnings announcement in March, Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ:COST) shares have been on the rise. The rally was strong enough to vault above last year's peak to new record territory. Moving averages are rising across all-time frames and should embolden buyers.Over the past two weeks, we've seen resistance form near $247. The pause is more than justified because COST stock had become quite overbought. Consolidation allows the stretched conditions to ease and new, lower-risk entry points to emerge.While COST stock may need a bit more basing before breaking out, the time to prep trades is now. When COST rises above $247.25, consider buying the June $250/$260 bull call spread.As of this writing, Tyler Craig didn't hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Why You Should Buy and Hold American Express Stock
Although this year the stock market sentiment is in a much better state, the banks still have their reputation that they cannot hold their rallies. But therein lies part of the opportunity in American Express (NYSE:AXP) stock today.Source: Marcus Quigmire Via FlickrThis round of bank earnings has so far gone much better than the last one. There is some chatter about a sustainable rally in their stocks. On Tuesday we even saw a flip from red to green in stocks like Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM).This hasn't happened in a while, so perhaps the trend that banks can't hold their greens is dying. If so then this will provide a lift to AXP stock as well.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsMoreover, transaction companies like AXP, Visa (NYSE:V), MasterCard (NYSE:MA) and Square (NYSE:SQ) rally in sympathy with money center banks. So if the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA:XLF) rallies then so will the transactors like AXP.In addition, AXP is an excellent financial stock that has proven over the years that they can manage through adversity. Case in point was the debacle over losing the Costco (NASDAQ:COST) account. The stock suffered for a while but has since set new all-time highs.I was lucky to ride the last mega breakout in AXP from the December lows. American Express rallied over 25% so today I am trying to catch the next opportunity. Usually, I consider these technical opportunities tactical trades but this one doubles as a long term conviction investment. This is a stock I want to own for the long term. * 10 Best Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever The reaction this morning is slightly negative from the earnings. Management reported a boring quarter where they barely beat the bottom line and narrowly missed sales. The forward guidance was in line so they gave traders nothing to cheer. So AXP will move in line with the overall equity market for now.So if this rally in stocks continues, then AXP stock has the opportunity to break out from $114.40 to target another $10 run from there. There will be resistance there but if the bulls can close above it then the bears will be tired so the stock will overshoot higher.The macroeconomic condition still favors the bullish thesis. We do have threats from lingering headlines of tariff wars. But as we approach another round of elections means that those deals will happen so we go back to trading the profit and loss statements rather than headlines.Most importantly, the threat from the Federal Reserve inverting the curve has disappeared. They have affirmed that they won't cause the short term rates rise above the long term rates so this relives fears for banks. The steeper the curve the better are their profits.For American Express stock, the short term price action from the earnings headline is meaningless for the long term. All global transactions will be electronic so the demand on their services will continue to increase. There are only but a few companies that serve this market and they are a global household name. So they are well set to continue to prosper for years.Then there is the China market opportunity. The U.S. and China are nearing a deal where companies like AXP could have a new opportunity become available in the largest market on the planet.The short term technical threat for AXP stock is at $108 per share. If the bears push price below it they could target $102 per share. This is not a forecast but it is a scenario that could unfold in the next few weeks. But even then, this won't change the overall opportunity for the long term.Nicolas Chahine is the managing director of SellSpreads.com.
